Bands and Image! What’s the deal. Seems like today all you got to do is fit the image and all of sudden your music has somehow been validated. It’s like people want their music to look better than it sounds. That’s just funny.

Now don’t get me wrong. If you are gonna jump on stage and play a revolutionary rock show to change the world you’d better dress the part! But if your revolution stops after your encore you can go home and image whatever you want.

I loved watching an old show called “behind the music” on VH1. They would go to these huge music star’s homes and follow em around in their “normal” lives. The big music stars are always dressed down in sweats and normal “walmart” ish clothes. It was always so interesting to see these BIG STARS living and using the restroom just like normal people.

So whats the big deal? People want to see something real. If the image doesnt match the real person its a fake, fabrication, false, foolish!

As a band if we are anything, we are committed. We are committed to being heralds of a message of a loving God and his desire for a new world to the people that need to hear it. Wearing that uniform isn’t easy but its an image worth having. God help us represent with our lives.
